This is not just another biography of celebrated Bulgarian mountaineer Hristo Prodanov, the first Bulgarian to reach the summit of Mount Everest, which he did in 1984. "The Way to the Top" presents Prodanov's troubled life, from his dilapidated native home in Karlovo to the highest peak on the planet and his tragic death on the way down from it. First-hand accounts by relatives and friends reveal his character, including his proverbial indomitable spirit. Previously unknown documents will take readers behind the scenes of two Bulgarian Himalayan expeditions, Lhotse 1981 and Everest 1984, which were carried out under the direct control of the then ruling Communist Party.
